Saving Scotland’s Red Squirrels in Angus

Saving Scotland’s Red Squirrels is a major national initiative which aims to secure and increase red squirrel populations in Scotland. Angus is one of the critical areas where “front line” red/grey squirrel interaction occurs and the aim of this project is to tackle the spread of grey squirrels in this area.

Objectives:

– To prevent northward spread of grey squirrels from eastern Angus
– To reduce the numbers and range of grey squirrels colonising eastern Angus
– To gather information to assist in planning for future red squirrel conservation in the area
